SMALLPOX at Santiago de Cuba, from Whenc

SMALLPOX at Santiago de Cuba, from whence
1t Is Spreading in All Directions.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 24.-Owing to the
neglect of the government in not enforcing
cination and dsinfection. the cases of small -pox
already reported in this city have been the means
of spreading the disease. and, as anticipated,
an epidemic is upon To-day it is estimated
that there fully five hundred cases here
within the city limits proper, apart from those
outside. The death rate is estimated to be
high 60 per cent, due to the fact that
some $4,000. out of population of 100000 are
wholly unprotected by vaccination. Owing to
the rapid spread OF the disease new foci are
being established in the city in To-
cs.ities hitherto free, and the whole
city will be infected. Medical men be-
lieve that thousands will be swept away
unless the most thorough and effective measures
are adopted. From this city the disease has
been taken to the country. Vessels of all kinds
come and go as usual. Thus the germs are being
shipped to new and uninfected cenIers. Santiago
de Cuba has large and direct steamship trade
with the United States. Again, vessels connect
this port directly with Havana and between the
latter port and New Orleans and Kew West there
ia almost daily steam communications; also, to
all the ports of the Southern States
